How Texans rookie RB Dameon Pierce has helped revamp NFL's worst rushing attack

HOUSTON -- “D.P. for president.”

That's the words that right tackle Tytus Howard and left tackle Laremy Tunsil said as they sat side by side at their lockers after the Houston Texans had won their first game of the season Sunday.

“D.P.” stands for Dameon Pierce -- the Texans’ fourth-round pick out of Florida last April who has helped revamp Houston's rushing attack. Pierce and the defense helped the Texans (1-3-1) knock off the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-3), 13-6.
